Movie Review: Source Code

The Source Code project aims to map the last eight minutes of residual memory from a train bombing victim's brain into the brain of a barely alive officer to unlock the identity of the bomber and prevent a follow up dirty bomb. In attempting to change the future, will they end up changing the past?   An interesting plot, but the movie does drag a bit, and some of the science fiction is too complicated if you try and reason it out.

The cast is good, but the hottie Vera Farmiga is wasted. Jake and Michelle have their moments too, but their characters don't have much of a chance to develop, which is a shame. Some excellent photography in the opening credits, for me, was the best part of the movie!

The 1140 pm show in the big theatre was house full, but it is one of those movies you could give a miss if you have better plans for the weekend.
